He needs to understand that he is EVERY citizens president.....not just the ones who voted for him. He needs to address the US with inclusiveness, not by singling out specific groups. He needs to think a little more before he says something.

This.

You may not have liked his positions (I often didn't) but GWB did not try to continually divide the country blaming everyone else for the ills of the country. THe press pilloried him (funny how that is not the same with this administration).

I had real hope that Obama would have improved race relations in this country. I have lived in times and places that everyone was on the same page regardless of race and I was naive to think Obama could bring us closer to that time.
